You Are My Sunshine

Well, hello there.  Its been a while, hasn't it?  Hard to believe it's nearing the end of July.  We've had a busy but wonderful summer so far. 

 

It's been a while since I've had studio time.  So happy to receive this week's Papertry Ink video on Monday.  I loved the technique shared and had fun trying this out.  So here is my entry for this week's challenge PTI Make It Monday #173, no outline watercolor.

 



 

The flower stamp is from Scrappy Cat, I used SU Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie with the aqua painter.  The sentiment is PTI Fillable Frames # 3.  I used watercolor paper and lightly painted the background as well. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

(This made me realize I need more PTI stamps.  Love the large flower image Heather used.)

Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him...

Hello...I'm fully into to Christmas cardmaking spirit.  I bought my Poinsettias and a Frasier Fir scented candle.  41 days till Christmas....

So I thought I'd share one of my cards so far.

Image and sentiment stamp are Heaven's Rejoice from Hero Arts.  Love this set.  I have other religious sets, but this one is my favorite.  Background stamp is World Map from PTI.  Ribbon is retired from Stampin' UP!  One of my favorite ribbons of all time.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello, Lovely

Hello, Lovely... a sentiment part of a recent release from Papertrey Ink...Happy For You and such a perfect sentiment for so many occasions.  As are all the other sentiments in the set.  As you can see, I was inspired!

There's nothing better than finding a design and supplies that go together perfectly.  Love all the cards, the sentiments are so perfect.  The embossing folders are from Sizzix, Frame, Heart and Vines and Frame, Ornate # 2.  The gorgeous butterflies are from K & Co. and the tags are from Martha Stewart (found on sale at Staples!)  The rhinestone trim on the first card was a gift from my personal shopper in Wisconsin...Barb!

 

I'm entering these in the City Crafter Challenge Blog where the challenge this week is Wings of an Angel (things with wings)

Thanks for visiting.  Hope you're having a great weekend so far.

Happy Happy Birthday

I've had a crush on all things Papertrey Ink for quite a while.  Love the stamps and the accessories and all the beautiful cards the DT posts.  I'm excited to play along with their  Make it Monday# 71 Bordered Sentiments...my first time.  Don't know why I've waited this long, but I'm glad I finally made time to watch the video and participate.

I masked the sentiment box, stamped the dotted background (Stampabilities) with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  Then I painted the background using Twinkling H2O's.  The sentiment is PTI Fillable Frames # 1 Mini Stamp Set, border stickers are from SRM.  The background paper is old Basic Grey, dry embossed with SU Elegant Lines folder.

Thanks so much for visiting today.  Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday.
